Anyone try JBA A-Arms?

[zonzin]

Just received my JBA UCA's today and I am very impressed with the build quality. They came well packaged and on time. The weld quality is excellent, powder coating really good, and overall they look fantastic. Additionally, customer service and communication was first rate.
As soon as the coil-overs arrive later this week I will be getting these on and looking forward to it. Yellow (OME) and red ought to look good together.

It looks like there's no threads showing on the ball joint bolts?

I want some of these, just not in RED. My dobinsons springs are teal in color and the red next to them would look horrendous visually.

EDIT: FWIW, I sent an email to JBA asking if different powder coating would be an option but was told to just paint them. I would rather use powder coating for durability...seems a lot of work for a visual issues only. I may have to just go Icon for the color. I'm not entirely confident in the SPC's...

You can take them to your local powder coater and have them spray-and-bake the A-arms any color you want.

Yep, looking into that now (depending on cost). If it pushes me too close to that $600 mark, I may just end up getting the ICON's.

They can make these in "sky blue pink" for all I care!

I'm not willing to accept the issues that a uniball entails for a daily driver, so a ball joint is for me. And, this is one nicely made ball joint! I can see the machining marks on it and can tell it's made right.

Watch the video on the construction of this BJ. Very impressive!

I've had mine for a few months now and I couldn't be happier. The red is bold and I love it. Caster is +4 almost at 5 with everything else in spec helps me to fit my 285s that measure 32.7 without any rubbing on the body mount (I trimmed and completed the fender line mod). Drives great and handles superbly on the trail, I'm a very satisfied customer.

:clap2:

If you wanted something simple like gloss black, Matte black, or texture black, I could do them for $20 a piece. You'd have to ship with a return label tho, and I'm not sure if it's worth it if your also paying for shipping 2 ways.

im running their UCA + coilover up front. Seems to do the job and get me back in spec running 285s. The red does bother me - maybe one day when i have downtime i'll get them coated

ive ran them off road and theres some squeeking but probably just needs some grease

Just ordered a set of these :thumb:

Received mine yesterday. Now all I need is the 4Runner to put them on.

After a little research, ordered these on Monday to go along with my coilover lift, great customer service. They are very nice, I'm at the suspension shop now, they are impressed with the quality.

Lift going on right now, woo hoo !

Don't forget pics!

I'm gonna have to order these. My stock UCAs just aren't cutting it no more. It was a toss between JBA and Camburg BJ but I'm going with JBA due to the adjustability of caster.

These aren't like the SPC light racing ones where the BJ itself can be adjusted for caster. the BJ is bolted into place for easy removal/replacement. I run them and would still recommend them for an easy way to get 4+ caster with a 3" lift. From what I've read on the forum the Camburg BJ rarely gets you up to 4.

The red would look badass on your 4R too

Did they change the BJ in the JBA UCA from the original version? I see pictures with different BJ in them.

They were using Moog bjs but now make their own.
